@Wansteadium – I’ve now been to the new co-op in the High Street. Disappointing experience, sadly. Needs Mary Portas to give it a spruce up.

Wanstead’s new Co-op, reviews
As the new Co-op in Wanstead High Street continues its love-bombing leafletting of nearby houses, Wansteadium has invited reviews of the new shop. First off the blocks – and second as well, actually – is Gabrielle Collard:
@Wansteadium 3pm on Sunday, strolled in to get milk. Massive queue. Strolled straight out again.

Want a police escort from a Wanstead cashpoint?
It’s yours, according to a poster circulated by the Snaresbrook and Wanstead Safer Neighbourhood Team. (Photo courtesy Alan Perryman)
And the considerate community support officers have clearly thought this through – you can ring up to make an appointment, and they will follow from a safe distance so as not to raise suspicion. For vulnerable or nervous folk this could be a great thing. Just one question, though: who withdraws money from a cashpoint after they’ve done their shopping?
Ahh a true taste of Wanstead

Urination? In the street? In broad daylight? In Wanstead??
Unlikely, but true. The scene; recycling bins on Wanstead High Street beneath the bridge at Snaresbrook Station. The time; 6pm, Friday. The culprit; 30s bald bloke who knows who he is. Wanstead surely expects better?
